Rajant
Corporation’s Breadcrumb® System Selected by Rio Tinto Mine
MALVERN,
PA - Rajant Corporation, a leading provider of portable, reliable, and adaptable
wireless networking solutions, announced today that its BreadCrumb® wireless
mesh system has been selected by the Kennecott Utah Copper Corporation (KUCC)
wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto as its primary communications platform for
operations within the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine, the world’s largest open-pit
copper mine. The Rajant BreadCrumb® system will enable KUCC to gain additional
operational efficiencies by tracking, monitoring and managing its copper mining
operations. “Enabling
Kennecott to streamline its complex mining operations was the primary goal of
using the Rajant BreadCrumb® wireless mesh system,” said Gary Anderson,
Senior Vice President of Mining for Rajant. “We knew they required a high
number of moving wireless nodes for improving mine monitoring and control. The
Rajant InstaMesh® software running on the wireless BreadCrumb® units connects
hundreds of devices to each other while rapidly transporting critical
operational data.” Kennecott
has successfully implemented a large number of Rajant BreadCrumb® systems in an
interconnected network that allows loader trucks, shovels, pumps, laptops and
other production equipment to communicate with each other in real-time. These
systems are a mix of secure access nodes that enable data and voice
communications across a meshed, self-healing network for fleet dispatch, health
monitoring and other critical mining applications. Many of the devices that
require wireless communications are moving at all times throughout the wireless
mining infrastructure. The BreadCrumb® nodes rapidly adapt to any changes in
the network topology, assuring that IP traffic uptime and bandwidth are
maximized. About
